Evacuations expand as Brazos River flood threat grows in Texas
Texas residents face new compulsory evacuations in Lake Jackson as the Brazos River rises from reservoir releases. Houston warns 15 000 to 20 000 homes already flooded may need to evacuate again while voluntary orders extend along the Brazos and San Bernard rivers. Local officials note two week releases from Addicks and Barker reservoirs to curb broader flooding after Hurricane Harvey.
